INSTALLING THE GAS LINE
In accordance with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54 (USA) or CAN/CSA-B149.1 (Canada,) correctly size and
route the gas supply line from the supply regulator to the area where the appliance is to be installed.
Never use galvanized or plastic pipe unless it is rated for use with gas. Gas supply pipes must be designed, routed, constructed and
made of materials that are in strict accordance with local codes and regulations. A qualified plumber or gas fitter should be hired to
correctly size and route the gas supply line to the appliance in accordance with all applicable codes and regulations.
Installing a gas supply line from the fuel supply to the appliance involves numerous considerations of materials, protection, sizing,
locations, controls, pressure, sediment trap, and other criteria. The sizing and/or installing of gas piping should only be performed
by a qualified plumber or gasfitter.
The gas control inlet accepts a 3/8” NPT fitting.
The gas supply piping should have a separate gas shutoff valve and a capped,
1/8
” pipe tapping upstream of the valve for the purpose
of reading pressure. A service shutoff valve must be placed within six feet of the fireplace gas control valve.
The gas supply pressure at the gas control valve
must not exceed the
Maximum Supply Pressure
as shown in the
Specifications
and Dimensions
section of this manual
.
The gas supply line must be properly connected and bled by a certified gasfitter or plumber.
The appliance and its main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that
system at test pressures in excess of
1/2
psi (3.5 kPa). The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing
its equipment shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
1/2
psi
(3.5 kPa).
Electrical work must be performed by a qualified, licensed electrician.
All wiring shall be in compliance with all local, city, and state codes.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
This fireplace uses a receiver and remote control for its burner operation. The remote control comes with (2) AAA batteries and the
receiver is powered by a 120V AC adapter, included. The fireplace MUST be powered by the AC adapter for improved reliability and
customer satisfaction.
The installer must provide a dedicated, approved 120V AC duplex receptacle to be placed within the six foot cord limit of the AC
adapter. The receiver MUST be powered by the AC adapter. Four AA batteries may be used only for on-demand electrical require-
ment during a power outage. Remove batteries after use to avoid battery corrosion. Battery corrosion will damage the receiver
and void the warranty.
The cooling fans are powered by 120V AC and connect to the dedicated duplex receptacle via the provided six foot long power
cord.
